I have a Vanagon brochure for the 1989 Model and it specifically lists
California Emissions as an avaialble option--not standard. My 1983 Westfalia is not
equipped with CA emissions as it was originally sold by a dealer in Nevada.
I'm not sure what parts are different between a "regular" Vanagon and one with
CA emissions. For my 1983 Vanagon the one time I remember it coming up was when
I purchased a catalytic converter and two models were available: one for CA
emissions vehicles and one for non CA emissions.

Sketchy, I know, but that's all the info I've got.
